The main benefit of sailing the high seas when I was younger was simply having access to things I couldn’t afford that helped make me more cultured. Now the main benefit is so I don’t financially contribute to shitstain corporations.

IT professional here.
Yup.
Everything is hardwired with multiple layers of security. Everything even remotely personal is on encrypted hard drives. No Alexa/Google. Made sure the smart TV and smartphones (no Apple, vanilla Android) have all data sharing disabled. And I drive a 1999 vehicle that doesn’t make me jump through any hoops.
There’s a fine line between technology making things better and making things worse. We’re definitely starting to drift into the making things worse era.
IT professional here with 20+ years work experience. Not once have I ever met another tech that liked Apple. Personally, I despise them. Unintuitive locked down garbage that can’t do anything a PC can’t do for half the price. And yes, I have seen viruses on Macs.
They’re just really good at advertising to people who don’t understand technology.


I have the video saved on my phone so I can watch it whenever I’m feeling down.


I actively avoid purchasing games that don’t allow client hosting. And I generally try to avoid games that matchmake. I’m tired of shitty matchmaking. I’m tired of corporate hosted lobbies. I’m tired of getting kicked out after each match and having to matchmake with an entirely different group of players.
Give me dedicated client hosted servers. Let us form relationships with other players by playing in the same servers on a regular basis. Gaming is more fun that way.
Streamers are like a Biblical plague.
Let’s take a bunch of dropouts with absolutely no credentials and have them be stewards of information to millions of people.
It’s wild that the “land of the free, home of the brave” let a bunch of incel basement dwelling grifter losers take over and tank the nation.
With the behavior of modern Christians the guy would probably beg to be put back in.
Mine has a smile on their face as long as they can overcharge me for not helping me.
Which is every single time.


Not sure “smashing” is the right term for 5%.

Come.
Let me show you the 9th level of hell called “Help Desk”.

Welp.
Lemmy open on one monitor. Jira open on the other.
So this tracks.
I pray for the apocalypse so I never have to look at a fucking ticket queue again. It’s a neverending list of other people’s problems I have to rapid fire solve.
Reminder that during the entirety of Biden’s 4 year term we saw job growth. Now we’ve seen 5 straight months of job loss under child rapist Donald Trump.
Thanks Biden.

I absolutely love the idea of only referring to him as Tim Apple for the rest of his sad life.
This guy’s such a pushover wimp he let a pedophile permanently change his name. A pedophile he has prostrated himself to.

These days I drug my cares away.

Better looking. Undoubtedly more intelligent.
Never have. Never will.

I mean, is it not apparent at this point?
If you watch someone do the thing where they step on a rake and hit themselves in the face more than once, you have to accept the reality that they’re probably stupid.
Americans have stepped on the rake a lot more than once.

Does this dipshit realize he’ll never be safe in public again? Probably anywhere on Earth.
And I don’t think he gets lifetime tax payer funded Secret Service protection like America is prepared to give a felon rapist pedophile.
